COMPUTER TERMINOLOGY FOR IBPS EXAMS

Application: Application is another term for software

program;

basically a program you use on a computer, like Word,

TurboTax,

Outlook, etc.

Bandwidth: A measurement of a data line's transmissionspeed, or

the amount of data a network can transfer from one

computer to

another in a given amount of time.

BIOS: Basic Input/Output System. This term is used to

refer to

ROM BIOS chip inside the computer. This chip starts and

manages

the computer bootup process.

Bootstrap Loader: A small program that manages a

computer boot

up process until the operating system can take over. The

bootstrap

loaders only job is to load other software, usually in a

sort of

105

sequential chain up to the point when the operating

system can get

loaded into memory and start. The name "bootstrap

loader" comes

from the idea that the computer is pulling itself up by its

"bootstraps".

Broadband: A bandwidth term that means a data line

that will allow

large amounts of data to be transferred very quickly.Basically a

broadband line will be much, much faster than an old

dial-up line.

Burn: To burn a CD or DVD means to write data files to

it using a

special piece of hardware.

Bus: A collection of (usually copper) wires through whichdata is

transmitted from one part of a computer to another. You

can think ofa bus as a "highway" on which data travels within a

computer.

Cable vs DSL: Cable and DSL are types of broadband data

lines.

Cable internet access uses the same lines that bring cable

television cable to your house, and DSL (Which stands for

Digital

Subscriber Line) is a type of high speed data compression

which

runs over plain old telephone service (POTS) lines.

CMOS: A type of computer chip which is able to operate

with a very

small amount of electricity from a battery. The term alsorefers to

the contents of a CMOS chip within the computer, which

holds

information about the computer boot devices, the date

and time and

its peripherals even while the system is turned off.

Computer Resource: This is a general computer

terminology for

the components that comprise the processing flow of a

computer,

including the memory, CPU, etc. You might hear someone

say "this

program is a resource hog", meaning it takes up a lot of

the

computer processing ability, and might make the

computer run

slower overall.

CPU: This stands for Central Processing Unit, and it can

mean the

106

box that holds the guts of the computer, or the processor

brain of

the computer. The CPU is the place where all the

computer

calculations happen.CPU Sink: CPUs heat up as they work. A CPU sink is a

mechanism

to keep the CPU cool while i t does its calculations. It

usually

consists of a cooling fan and an aluminum heat sink

which draws

the heat away the CPU chip.

Defrag: Computers write information to a hard drive byfilling in

open places on the drive. They dont write files all in one

big block,which means your Word document might be spread out

all over

your hard drive.

To defrag your computer means to basically rearrange

the files on

your computers hard drive so that file parts are closer

together.

Once rearranged, the computer will take less time to

access the

files. Defragging is usually recommended to speed up a

slow

computer.

Hard Drive: This is the central storage space for yourcomputer.

Almost always, the hard drive is designated as C: drive. If

the drive

is partitioned (i.e., split up into different sections), there

might also

be a D: drive.

IP address: IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are assigned

to each

and every computer on a TCP/IP network. They work like

your

home address. Mail or any other package could not get to

you if you

had no address.

IP addresses basically insure that data on a network goes

where it

is supposed to go. IP addresses look something like this:

192.168.1.25.

ISP: Internet Service Provider: This would be the

company that

provides your internet access.

107

Malware: a general term for any malicious piece of

software, such

as a virus, worm, or trojan.

Mother Board: The green board inside of a computerthat allows all


22/25

of the internal computer components to interact. Some

would call it

the "heart" of the computer. It routes data to and from all

the other

parts, including the CPU chip, the RAM, the power supply,

etc.Network Interface Card (NIC): This is a part of the

computer that

allows it to talk to other computers (aka, a network) via anetworkprotocol or language like TCP/IP.

Operating system: This is the basic software that a

computer runs

on. Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux,

Unix, and

Apples Mac OS X Leopard are all operating systems.

Peripherals: This is a general term for computer add-ons

like

printers, mice, keyboards, scanners, monitor, etc..

POST: This stands for Power On Self Test. When you first

turn on a

computer, it checks to make sure all its parts are working;

it makes

sure a keyboard is attached, that memory loads, and that

in general,

its hardware is working and ready to load the operating

system. This

test is called the POST.

Processor chip (or just processor): This is the brain of

the

computer. Youve probably heard the commercials for the

"Intel"

chip or the "Xeon" chip. They are talking about the

"brain" of the

computer, which does all the calculations and task

processing.

RAM: this stands for Random Access Memory and is used

generically as memory. This is the memory on a

computer that

allows you to hold and run a program so that you work

with it on the

monitor. More RAM is better.

At the risk of repeating myself, RAM is dependent on

electricity,

meaning it is cleared or reset when the computer's power

is turned

108off.
